A lot of manual crossings in the UK and Ireland that have gate lights have them on 24/7, IIRC.LARDLOGO wrote:It looks like the lantern is lit up when no train is in sight.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Hey look! An Irish crossing that isn't manually controlled! Kinda cool seeing a country that uses their own "type" of crossing that is kinda the same "type" as British crossings (there has to be a better way to explain that).

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I assume that this signal somewhere in County Limerick activates when the crossing down the road is active. I'd also assume the lights are amber and not red.

It's like the Irish aren't use to the idea of normal signalized crossings!

Not sure what this is about...

Active crossing at Risca, Wales https://www.google.com.au/maps/@51.6163 ... 312!8i6656
Seems to be in quite a scenic location https://www.google.com.au/maps/@51.6161 ... 312!8i6656
